The Town of North Beach will be hosting a team of top ranking Planners from across the United States from August 20th through the 24th. The Planner Team, members of the American Planning Association, are donating their time and talents, pro bono, to the Town to create a plan for the downtown business area (principally centered around 5th street, but radiating out from there) of North Beach, which, at this time, is largely undeveloped or underdeveloped. The plan they help create will lead development now and into the future in a direction that will assure that growth and development occurs in an economically sound, and sustainable way that benefits the town’s population, its businesses, and its future. The team of Planners will hold a PUBLIC Visioning Meeting to gather input from the public on Thursday evening, August 20, starting at 6:30 PM at Town Hall. All members of the community are urged to come to this meeting and give the Team feedback about their vision for North Beach’s future. The Team will also be meeting with the business community on Friday morning starting at 9:00 AM, at the Plaza Mexico restaurant to gather input from that community. Owners of businesses or potential future business owners are invited to attend that meeting also. Finally, the Team will present their draft recommendations to the Mayor and Town Council in a public meeting on Sunday, August 23, beginning at 6:30 PM, again at Town Hall. All members of the community are invited to attend that meeting also to hear the draft results of the study.
